melkathi Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 In the matter of Bruce vs Bronwen I have to say it could have been handled worse. I myself would have had an internal struggle not to say that I could not really answer the question and the only sure way to discover the truth would be for her to leave, eat junk food for one year straight and then randomly walk into me when she had put on weight. Ideally she should be wearing similar clothes, have the same haircut and hair colour, same makeup and same manicure, so that only the variable "weight" had changed. On the other hand, then we'd run the danger of me recognizing her, so changing all the other variables could also be advisable so as to make sure that there was no pre-inclination on the test subject's (i.e. me) part. Imagine her expression then. So will you run into her again, Bruce? Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

melkathi Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I just noticed someone called Rosveen posting on the forum. Which made me wonder if they are related to Rosbjerg. And following that train of thought, If Rosbjerg had a cute cousin and I dated her, would I need to change my username to Roskathi? 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Malcador Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I need to understand the lesson here ? What do you guys think it is? Not much of a lesson, she took issue with you having a personal preference and that's her problem, really. Good retort to her anger would be why didn't she stay overweight, heh, that relates well to your preference. Why has elegance found so little following?

Amentep Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I got roped into a "movie party"(aka drinking screwdrivers and watching movies) and am currently bored to tears of Die Die My Darling. Not Stephanie Powers' or Tallulah Bankhead's finest hour (and a half). That said, Donald Sutherland has been in worse films. Physical attraction is almost a primal instinct and you are in no way shallow for not being attracted to fatties. You like what you like, everyone does. TBH, it kind of sounds like she sprung some immature trap on you regarding a situation that no longer even exists. I think the fortunate one was you because you probably dodged a crazy girl. Attractions come in many forms; but I don't think that the woman in questions sprung an immature trap (necessarily) so much as - is true with most people who have struggled with weight - she was trying to find out if her lifelong struggles with her weight would be an issue if they pursued a relationship. 2 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose but I get suspicious when people bring up (currently) non-existent issues just to get upset if you don't supply the predetermined answer. Also imo, in the history of mankind, theres never been a person that became a stripper because they have an awesome life. So shes already damaged goods to begin with and then you add in the whole "recovering fatty that decided to overcome that obstacle and take their clothes off for a living"? WARNING WILL ROBINSON! WARNING! However I will concede that past years of dating strippers has jaded me and maybe she really is a regular hard working lass just trying to earn college money.

BruceVC Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 So will you run into her again, Bruce?

Gromnir Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Bruce, maybe a straight up lie isn't the way to go either but rather some deflection or redirection could be a better course of action. I dunno, I'm no social butterfly myself but it does seems like you rolled a 1 on that trap ', Anyway, so far today I have successfully woken up. Here's to small victories Update - went to brunch, drank a lot of fuzzy navel mimosas and this is the outfit of the day Yeah, getting my Picard on this may ruin the episode for you, but we highly recommend closet land, starring alan rickman and madeleine stowe. btw, that were the entire cast for the movie. is not something you will want to see more than once, but is excellent. HA! Good Fun! ps closet land were 1991. is kinda obvious that the star trek guys saw closet land 'fore making chain o' command.

Or whatever. am not gonna give relationship advice, but we will observe that Most women have body image issues to one degree or another. not Gromnir 'course, but there is some men who take advantage o' this fact. again, not Gromnir, but we has heard from more callous and predatory men that no matter how beautiful the woman, chances are there is some aspect o' her appearance that she obsesses over. careful observation o' body language and verbal cues gives away the weakness. once you know what is the particular body image issue a woman has, you can manipulate so that even the most confident woman feels insecure and vulnerable... which a man with questionable integrity would see as advantageous. or at least that is what we has heard. is not that bruce ran into a loopy woman with extreme body issues. sounds like he ran into the ordinary and average woman. he took the sensitive guy approach from the start, but he didn't follow through.

Gromnir Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 the thread is amusing to us 'cause is as if some men is learning for the first time that women is more subtle 'bout their communication and that they, in general, is far more likely to read stuff into the things men says than the other way around.
